05/07: Moose Pitches 4 Hit Shutout
Posted by: Patrick
Moose answered the call today as he pitched a brilliant 4 hit shutout. He struck out 3 while walking 2. The Yankees defense backed him up with a 0 error performance.
The Yanks offense only managed 5 hits (and 3 walks), but was able to score 5 runs. In the first, Sheff knocked in Jeter with a double to deep left. Tino added a solo shot in the 2nd and A-Rod added a 2 RBI double in the 3rd (with Womack and Sheffield scoring). A-Rod would add an RBI single (Sheff again) in the 8th to make it 5-0. He turned in a 2 for 4, 3 RBI day at the plate. Sheffield went 1 for 3 with 2 runs, 1 RBI and a walk. Jeter, Matsui, Posada, Phillips and Cano combined to go 0 for 15 with 2 walks and 1 run.
I didn't watch the game - but the box score tells me this was a good game for the Yankees. With pitching and defense plaguing us as it has - a shutout with no errors is just what the doctor ordered.
